It is in the market for a price between € 15,000 and € 50,000 ($17,200 and $57,250).

6. The Tobeca 1000 from Tobeca

Tobeca is a 3D printer that belongs to the French manufacturer of the same name. The Tobeca 1000 is a 3D double extrusion printer that has a print volume of 1600 × 1600 × 2000 mm. The 3D printer has a closed chamber that can reach 80°C, in addition to extruders capable of reaching up to 300°C, which opens the possibilities printing with materials such as polycarbonates or filaments with carbon fiber base. It has a heated tray that reaches 150°C. You can find the printer is on the market for around € 50,000 ($57,250).

7. The Extreme 200o from Builder

The 3D printer Extreme 2000 of the Dutch company Builder offers an impressive print volume of 700 x 700 x 1,820 mm in a closed housing. During printing, the heating platform reaches a temperature of up to 60°C and an integrated camera allows control during printing. The FDM printer has automatic levelling and filament detection, making it much easier to use. With two extruders it can achieve a layer resolution of 0.05 to 0.06 mm and print various materials such as PLA, PET and flexible materials. It is available on the market for 25.000 € ($29,000).
